VillaJay Posted Wednesday at 21:11 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:11 Defending deeper suited us tonight, Diego was excellent to be fair, but he has a long way to go to prove he can be relied on consistently. Brilliant night for the Villa and Diego was fantastic and integral to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted Wednesday at 21:13 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:13 I gave him so much stick after Sunday so it's only fair to say he was amazing tonight. It's clearly a mental issue with him, focused at the start and he'll generally have a good game but if he starts sloppy he'll continue in that vain. Top class tonight like he has been against many of the best teams in Europe in the last 12 months so a real enigma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted Wednesday at 21:20 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:20 As many have pointed out suits him to sit back as a proper backs to the wall old school defender. Fair play to him on his performance tonight. Was solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickster Posted Wednesday at 21:21 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:21 Seemed way more calm tonight strangely, in such a big game. It didn't bring about the losses of concentration at all. A really great performance from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsworthvilla Posted Wednesday at 21:29 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:29 His performance tonight demonstrates how embarrassing some of the comments were on here after the Wolves game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. A player can be judged as a whole, on recent form and on an individual match basis. Just like he can be massively praised for tonight, there is nothing wrong with the criticism he has received from some poor performances. It's possible for the same person to both critic and praise over different games. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what the criticism is. If it's just mindless insults, then I concur but seeing errors/lack of concentration/poor positional play is not finding a scapegoat. It's talking about things that have happened in a game Some of the comments over time have been way ott in my opinion but it's been hard to defend him at times lately. At the same time, he should be rightly applauded for tonight. Most people will be happy to give praise when it's due. Those who can't are either trolls or obnoxiously stubborn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted Wednesday at 21:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:50 Genuinely a bizarre player. The post Ipswich comments were absolutely spot on and all the praise he'll get in the next few days will be spot on. Defensive unit was immense tonight.

Stevo985 Posted Wednesday at 22:00 VT Supporter Share Posted Wednesday at 22:00 What a strange player. Always seems to lift his performance for the big teams. Superb tonight. And can probably play in goal if Emi gets injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
